Well, this is a bit on the subtle side. What you've done is to create a DCL
symbol that _runs_ a program. What you need is a command that activates an
image. Enough mumbo/jumbo. Redo the line in your login.com to be
$ UUD :== ${directory stuff}UUD.EXE
and see if that doesn't make your error message go away.
